Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can fully prep the beef mixture up to two days in advance. Store it in the fridge, then assemble and bake the sliders when you're ready. If you need to assemble the entire sliders ahead of time, wait to add the vegetable oil with minced garlic until just before baking for the best texture.

What kind of cheese works best?

Cheddar or Swiss cheese works great for these sliders. The cheese melts beautifully and adds a delicious flavor to the dish. Feel free to get creative with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack if you prefer a different taste.

How do I keep the bottom rolls from getting soggy?

To prevent the bottom half of the rolls from getting soggy, toast them in the oven for 3–5 minutes before adding the beef mixture. This step creates a barrier that helps maintain the structure of the sliders, even with the saucy beef filling.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. This recipe is easy to scale for a crowd. Just grab a second package of rolls and use a full-size sheet pan to accommodate the doubled ingredients. You can enjoy a larger batch of these delicious sliders with ease.

Do these freeze well?

Yes, these sliders freeze well for later enjoyment. For best results, freeze the assembled sliders before baking and hold off on the vegetable oil with minced garlic. When ready to serve, thaw in the fridge overnight, brush with the garlic-infused oil, and bake as directed.

How do I reheat leftovers?

To reheat leftovers, simply pop the sliders in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps maintain the texture of the rolls and keeps the sliders tasting delicious. Avoid using the microwave if possible for best results.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Set your oven to 350°F to preheat so it will be ready when the sliders are prepared.
In a large pan on medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper. Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes, using a spoon to break apart the meat, until the beef is browned and the veggies are soft.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, blend together tomato paste, soy sauce, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth.
Pour this sauce into the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir well, then let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes until it slightly thickens. Take off the heat.
While the beef mixture is cooking, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife, keeping them connected if possible. Place the bottom halves into a half sheet pan or a 9×13 baking dish.
Distribute the beef mixture evenly over the bottom part of the rolls. Add slices of Cheddar or Swiss cheese on top, then place the top halves of the rolls over them.
In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil with minced garlic. Brush or pour this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Loosely cover the pan with foil and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese melts and the tops look lightly golden.
Allow to cool for a short time before slicing. Serve warm and consider making more, as they tend to be eaten quickly!

Notes

Consider using Swiss cheese for a more flavorful twist.
Add a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
Brush the garlic-infused oil generously on the rolls for added taste.

Creating Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

Fundamentals

The key to Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sliders is using fresh, quality ingredients. Start with one pound of ground beef, which serves as the heart of the dish. The chopped onion and green pepper add a crunch and a burst of color that contrast beautifully with the savory beef.

Tomato paste, soy sauce, and beef broth create a rich sauce that ties all the flavors together. Cornstarch is essential for thickening the sauce, ensuring it clings to the beef and veggies perfectly. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste. This combination infuses the sliders with a depth of flavor that is both hearty and satisfying.

Preparation/setup

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. As it warms, prepare your ingredients. Chop the onion and green pepper, and mince the garlic. These steps ensure everything is ready to go, making the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

In a large pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the onion and green pepper. Stir frequently to break up the meat and ensure even cooking. You’ll know it’s ready when the beef is browned and the veggies are tender, which takes about 2 to 4 minutes.

Crafting Your Sliders

Technique

The technique behind perfect Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sliders lies in the sauce. Mix tomato paste, soy sauce, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef, stirring well. Allow it to cook for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens slightly, then remove from heat.

As the sauce thickens, it envelops the beef and vegetables, enhancing each bite with its savory richness. This step is crucial for achieving the signature taste of these sliders.

Tips/tricks

For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls before adding the beef mixture. This adds a delightful crunch and helps prevent sogginess. Also, use a serrated knife to slice the rolls, as it provides a cleaner cut.

To ensure the cheese melts evenly, cover the sliders loosely with foil while they bake. This traps heat and moisture, creating a gooey, cheesy topping that’s hard to resist. If you enjoy a bit of experimentation, try using different cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss to see which you prefer.

Enhancing Your Sliders

Perfecting results

The perfect Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sliders have a balance of flavors and textures. The beef should be juicy, the sauce rich and flavorful, and the rolls soft but slightly crisped on top. Use the garlic oil mixture to brush over the top of the rolls before baking. This adds a subtle garlic flavor that complements the beef and cheese.

Consider using a variety of cheeses to find your favorite combination. Swiss cheese offers a mild flavor, while Cheddar adds a sharp tang. Experiment with both to see which one best suits your taste.

Troubleshooting/variations

If your sliders are too dry, ensure the sauce is thick but not overly reduced. Adjust the beef broth quantity if necessary. For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. This adds a subtle heat that pairs well with the rich flavors.

For those who love experimenting with flavors, consider trying a different twist on the classic slider. You can explore Green Chile Stew with Ground Beef for a spicy kick, or enjoy a unique fusion by making Philly Cheesesteak Nachos.

Serving Your Sliders

Serving/presentation

Once your Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are ready, let them cool slightly before cutting. This helps the cheese set and makes them easier to handle. Serve them warm, allowing the flavors to be fully appreciated.

For a delightful presentation, place the sliders on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. This adds a pop of color and a fresh burst of flavor. These sliders are perfect for casual gatherings and are sure to impress your guests.

Pairings/storage

Pair these sliders with classic sides like crispy fries or a fresh salad to round out your meal. If you’re looking for more inspiration, try Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe for a fun twist on a classic dish.

Should you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep well for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to refresh their flavors and texture.
